Wireless Connection Problems

[Chuck Wagner]

At home, I have a dsl modem hooked up to a wireless
router to which my laptop and desktop have both connected
to with no problems.
<p>
Recently, after upgrading to SP2, my laptop has had
problems not with connecting to the wireless router, an
act which it says it is performing perfectly, but with
accessing the internet through the router. My desktop,
which has not upgraded to SP2 yet, can still access the
internet through the router. Anyone have any suggestions
for my lap top?

WinXP SP2 made significant Good changes in Windows Zero Configuration (WZC
is the Wireless configuration part of WinXP). It is possible that your
previous way of setting the Wireless clients might need to reconfigure or
reinstall the Client Wireless.
